In the field of research, the ETI cooperates with German and international music colleges, universities and colleges. In the fields of musicology (Paderborn University), acoustics and signal processing (RWTH Aachen University) and musical acoustics (Institute for Viennese Sound Style) there are joint research projects as well as master's theses and doctorates.

In recent years, several EU projects (Marie Curie Integrated Training Network) and DFG-funded projects have been carried out.

history

After initial planning in 1944, the university was founded in 1946 as the Northwest German Music Academy Detmold . In 1956 the name was expanded to include the Northwest German Music Academy Detmold, the State University of Music . After the universities in Münster and Dortmund were merged with the Detmold University, there was another name change in 1972 to State University of Music Westphalia-Lippe. Northwest German Music Academy Detmold . Accordingly, the other institutes were named Staatliche Hochschule für Musik Westfalen-Lippe. Münster department or Dortmund department . In 1987 the current name Hochschule für Musik Detmold was introduced. In 2004 there was another restructuring in which the Münster department was affiliated to the Westphalian Wilhelms University of Münster as the Münster University of Music and the Dortmund department was dissolved.

After it was founded, the Northwest German Music Academy looked for suitable classrooms. Music lessons have been taking place in some rooms of the New Palace since 1946/47 . After lengthy negotiations between the Detmold museum management and the founders of the academy, the university was able to use the New Palace in its entirety for its own purposes from January 24, 1954.

Before that, some renovations were necessary in order to use the historic building as a music college . Some rooms were enlarged by removing partitions. A spacious foyer was created at the entrance and space was created for a cafeteria in the basement . From 2004 to 2006 all classrooms were renovated and the building was given an elevator and a winter garden . In the course of the renovation work, numerous historical ceiling paintings and floors were exposed that could be restored.
